Procrastination
Because of
Not feeling ok or
feeling good enough just because I was feeling yuck/tired from a poor night sleep, and it's was really hot.
Really important, to ride anyway.
Now I know there is all the talk about the horses feel our feelings and we don't want to put it on them when we are feeling off or non centered around our horses.
But that is not a Real relationship.
If your horse has his own identity and confidence and isn't reliant on you being attuned to him to feel safe or ok.
Then ride when your not feeling the best is not going to break the friendship it's going to enhance the depth of it through honesty.
Because Authentic Connection is all about you showing up honest with how you feel accepting your feelings as they are is just as important as accepting your horses feelings as they are.
That's what we believe Authentic Connection is all about.
Our motto has always been:

HOOF TRIMMING
Most improved Shout out!!
A part of Horsemanship is preparing your horses, so the basic of humane care can be completed with them feeling relaxed.
HOOVES IN THE WET.
Once the rains are here and it's muddy. Making the best out of what is. Is all you can do.
Preparing beforehand is key.
Best thing you can do is short trim cycle 4-6 weeks Max. And all pathology treated beforehand.
Things to consider.
●Does your horse have any untreated pathology.
This includes, cracks seedy toe, thrush, white lines disease?
● Are your horses hooves on correct angles growing down, not out front?
● Dose your horse have adequate movement across different terrain?
● Are they eating and or going to the toilet near the same spot? (Many horses will pee on the leftovers hay)
● Dose the mud stink or is it just mud.
● Is the horse moving enough to flick out the mud in their hooves or do we need to go pick it out.
●Is your horses diet changing in sugar content with new grass and Dose your feeds or supplements contain acid buffers.
If you find that your paddock isn't the best considering what changes you can make for next time to give the horses dry gravel or grass areas to get out of the mud might be best.
Honestly bacteria is slow growing in the hoof, but the rain will flare up/worsen the pre existing weakness and conditions. So if your horse now is presenting with something it's just rectify treatment now
In these times I'm more worried about horses gut health with the rapid increase in sugars in the grasses, causing hoof problems quicker.
Heel contraction
Can be improved but is a slow process.
We are booking up thr rest of the week around
The weather. With just 6 weeks before Xmas
We hope to get everyone timed right for the new year.
With 300 horses/donkeys the books for hoof care, bodywork and lessons,
we have scaled back and no longer doing Logan, Moreton bay and samford on the trimming as the business opens up other services here in the lockyer Valley.
Kind regards Emma
Often when we are faced with the reality that our horses have been working in tension and are frozen or Obident but not relaxed.
The task of undoing and rebuilding can be overwhelming.
Even for me when faced with a horse that needs every bit of tension and fear undone before riding it can be an daunting task with time restrictions.
That's with me having rehabilitated many knowing how it needs to be done, what the process looks like, combined with bodywork, gut healing, feet correction and horse exercises needed to release trapped trauma and tension.
To get a sound, happy, healthy, horse who is willing to work in partnership with you.
Remember rebuilding 2 relationships can be emotionally difficult but not impossible.( The horse and self.)
Grieving the way you used to be is needed.
Although it helps us, self regulation, meditation or breathing will only get you so far but it's a start.
A connection leading to friendship with your horse
Needs the other aspects of helping a horse feel safe, with support when they have issues we need to get to the root cause of, in order to flourish.
Keep faith, it will all fall together. Keep showing up.
Shout out to those that have put their faith in me to help their horses rebuild a partnership this year.
EMOTIONAL STABILITY and Flexibility.
Preping a horse to be confident in a human world can be easy, simple and fun.
Or it can be difficult and full of one step forward 2 steps backwards and stagnation.
I dose depend on the level of knowledge and time put in to building and authenticly Relationship. That fosters confident, calm, safe, connected feelings for all.
I mean individual confidence for both.
What I'm seeing more often then not now are horses that are not properly relaxed in the basics, and have such ridged routines that they lose their confidence in change or environments they can't control.
Remember horses are the masters of adaptation and change, they have thrived across thousands of years because of this.
Let's help them achieve EMOTIONAL STABILITY
And Confidence in our world.
Learn with is.
